Personally I preffered to "NOTHING" brand due to its unique Ndot font and removing it kinda disappoints me.. I wish they give us an option to change the font style to the OG Ndot font style
honestly, I'm sure the nothing design team is more aware of the flaws of their product than a random youtube. Unfortunately there are other factors in fixing things apart from just knowing about them...
You're right, I am a UX designer so I know that the youtuber did a really good job and yes the nothing UX team is too lazy to implement their own elements in the apps and let's not forget they don't even have a gallery app yet they took 3 versions to just bring the gallery app and just to clarify I am typing this using nothing phone 2 🥲
The brightness slider on 1 swipe down should've been there.. i agree with ya... And yes.. that auto brightness is finally there instead manually go into settings.. what a relief
Personally, I like the Serif font, it feels more playful, kinda fitting for CMF with the bold colors, but the Nothing stuff should use the NDot font + monochrome colors combo
2:39 about nothing leaving the dot matrix, they said they’ve taken it away from a lot of writing but developed a graphics engine to implement it into the design more.
Honestly I love it. I benched the 2a for 3 months now I'm back using it because of the update. It's amazing how stable it is, haven't encountered any bug
if nothing starts doing good stuff with the camera's, adding a pro version, and getting some carrier deals I could easily see them be in the top 3 of android devices
They should keep the default dotted clock style as a option like the others. Seriously it looks so cool, clean and minimal. And as you said the brightness slider should come on the first swipe down and also the music widget in the quick settings panel should be fixed as somethings wrong with the padding when its swiped down. Remaining changes are awesome! Waiting for 3.0 to be really stable!
Nothing should bring an option to change the colors and the size of the clock styles; some of them are too big. Also, I don't know if they will but adding a custom font option for clock faces like OneUI would be great. But still, they didn't add an option to resize icons 😔
Google pixel does not need oversized ovals in the quick settings for simple things like torch or auto rotate. It makes sense for either squares or circles to be in the quick settings. I cannot wait to upgrade to this phone
can we have the default homescreen icon and layout when you explanining the UI? coz not everyone will costumize their homescreen as you show on the video, and for better context about the changes. thanks
What is their reason for replacing the dots font? I thought it made the phone unique and played with the retro theme it was launching as. Are they "remaking" themselves?
I am planing to buy the nothing phone 2a and I was wandering if the swirly wallpaper you are using is predownload or when can I find it because i love it Plsssss tell me😢😢
Nothing is the kinda company that actually listens to their customers. I'm 100% sure once the official release comes out all the big will be fixed and the majority of the things we don't like and want them to keep. Nothing will fix it. Looking forward to my Nothing Phone 2 to get even better!
is the update mandatory? i get my nothing phone on saturday but until they reconsider some of the design cahnges i would like to stay on 2.6 for the time being. To me the font is their identity and one deciding factor i would like to use Nothing OS.
I don't personally mind any font change as long as it's consistent. The different fonts all over the UI seriously mess with my OCD. I hope they'll fix it in the final version.
I love the fact they're introducing pop-up view, I have it on other phones and it is amazing. However, I hate the UI changes, because they feel like they are completely detached from their previous style, removing the dot font and whatnot. It's too different, which makes it feel devoid of character. What I used to love about nothing's UI is that while a lot of it just took from aosp, the parts that were custom just screamed Nothing, they were completely unique to them and you could tell no other company would have made something like that. Now, not so much. Very disappointed overall
That's a good point, I turned off the navigation bar because of that background, but I'm on the 3.0 beta, so I'll check if they've got rid of it or not. Edit: It's still there.
Dude ive been watching your content and im hooked right now. Would appreciate if you made a customisation video on the new Xiaomi HyperOS and Id really appreciate it man. God bless
I have no idea why they're abandonning the dot font, it's part of the phone's appeal! This new makes it so it doesn't look like a Nothing phone anymore
Man, if their hardware was just a bit better, mostly a telephoto lens, I'd so switch from a Pixel. This UI is exactly what I've wanted on my Pixel for YEARS!
It’s very similar to IOS tbh (which I like, don’t get me wrong, apple makes great software and has great design). As for the hardware, it appears to me that the hardware is on point with the pricing, but I’m no expert
can't believe I'm saying this but the clock styles are all mediocre at best and it would've been totally more along the lines of their policies if we could get something like googles implementation
Personally I preffered to "NOTHING" brand due to its unique Ndot font and removing it kinda disappoints me.. I wish they give us an option to change the font style to the OG Ndot font style
I'm getting cmf tomorrow but gotta say, I was gonna disable that dot font
They're planning to bring it back in later updates according to sources. So don't worry just wait.
carl tweeted they will make it configurable
I think they do have that toggle in developer options in beta?
Can't say it will be in final release though
They've added an option to switch to the old (ugly and unreadable) N-dot font!
A shame that the Nothing design team didnt watch Juxtopposed's video on fixing their weird inconsistent design & UI!

Pretty sure they would've.

I think they changed some of the them she suggested in her video
I Want the DOT font back, that was one of my reasons to buy nothing, it looks different and nice
same here!

I've sent them a suggestion regarding this brightness bar, it's really inconvenient to swipe two times
Why would they get rid of the dot matrix font? That's part of Nothing's aesthetic.
It's not removed completely but from some places it's changed to Sans fonts🥲...
*was
because it's kinda ugly, bro
@@tubica_de No it's unique. Go buy a classic smartphone instead. Bro
@@FaTaLiTixGaMinG it's just not good readable and they realized
Getting rid of the dot font is just weird. It's like if Apple gets rid of the apple on their logo. Like why?
So true
Thank you for the aspect ratio on your videos
You know the deal
Love the quick settings design update. The light mode looks so clean!
I do not own nothing phone but am frustrated. Why did they change the iconic doted nothin font to normal one
Personally, I think the dotted font is hideous, at least when it’s used everywhere.
@@agme8045 Well that font is even more hideous than the dotted
This is what I needed, a video that properly explains what's new
Nothing. If you're listening. DON'T GET RID OF THE NDOT FONT!!!
It's still there in experimental features.
0:55 where can I get that wallpaper?
From my app Lumina Walls - play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumina.wallpapers
You can find it under the Dynamic Patterns collection.
if you have circle to search then use it
Actually we need..
Good camera output
Gallery
New font looks off
Personally, I like the Serif font, it feels more playful, kinda fitting for CMF with the bold colors, but the Nothing stuff should use the NDot font + monochrome colors combo
imo this is what stock android should have been, that quick settings is wayyy better than pixel ui
Cuz its copied from ios...
@@Medicoboi ok? so what
Pixel UI still rocks
It will improved on Android 16.
Please wait just a little.
@@nemilosul2000 pixel is still great at least it looks good rather than that wired sizing button small big

This has been the best video on Nothing OS 3.0
Forget the video I'm in love with the aspect ratio of the video. Very few that fit in my NP2A without the shitty TH-cam zoom
Yes fits perfectly on my Samsung A52..
Everybody should use this aspect ratio 🗣️
💯
Finally Nothing Becoming Something👌
2:33 What is this (live?) wallpaper? Or app that is animating the wallpaper on unlock like that?
That’s the built in Atmosphere effect you can enable when setting the wallpaper on Nothing Phones.
Darn. I really love that, but I'm a Pixel user. Thank you so much!

I hope Sam does a video on the Australian 3g shutdown and what will be affected , phone wise .
can we have the default homescreen icon and layout when you explanining the UI?
coz not everyone will costumize their homescreen as you show on the video, and for better context about the changes. thanks
coz I drop watching the video a second you show the costumized homescreen
Users must be given the choice to choose between ndot font and other

In android 15 all apps go edge to edge by default so my question is, is that background that the navigation bar sits on still there in apps?
That's a good point, I turned off the navigation bar because of that background, but I'm on the 3.0 beta, so I'll check if they've got rid of it or not.
Edit: It's still there.
I am excited with the gallery app!
Where's the music?
Love from india 🇮🇳
Nice wallpaper bro how can I create it

that bug where the screen wakes up on its own is there on nothing os 2.6 too on phone 2a
Really? Doesn’t happen on my 2a or 2a Plus…
I will enjoy this on my Nothing Phone(1), good job NOTHING 👍🏿

You make good tour of OS updates, but with the phone so heavily customized it doesn't represent well the OS.
Guys, if you hate those lock screen changes, I recommend sending the feedback through official means.
Why is no one talking about focus issues on rear camera
Really want the dot font back @nothing
Looks like they done want us to like their looks
bring back the nothing dot fonts pls
It's a shame beta is only available on phone 2a right now and not on 2a PLUS
who thought that font was a good idea haha XD
agreed, very meh.
I like this new font :( but they had to keep both options.
As an iPhone user this makes me hate more phone 100x more, who’s working at apple? Old farts? This is amazing
